A common method where one alkyl halide is converted to another alkyl halide is known as Finkelstein reaction. In one example of this reaction the reaction of an alkyl chloride with potassium iodide is generally carry out in acetone to maximize the amount of alkyl iodine that this formed. Why does the solvent increase the amount of alkyl iodide. Hint: potassium idioide is soluble in acetone but potassium chloride is not.
Does doubling the concentration of an alkylhalide and maintaining the alkoxide concentration double the reaction rate? What if the alkylhalide concentration is maintained and the alkoxide concentration is doubled?
The reaction of an alkyl chloride with potassium iodide is generally carried out in acetone to maximize the amount of alkyl iodide that is formed. Why does the solvent increase the yield of alkyl iodide? (Hint: Potassium iodide is soluble in acetone, but potassium chloride is not.)
